DREAM GARAGE: Renard GT

Let’s talk about all the impractical and stupid decisions you have made in your lifetime.

From that one time when you were a teenager when you did that thing only you and your best friend know about; to that other time when you were in college and you probably should have been arrested; and that thing you did at the club when no one was looking.

The Renard GT´s chassis is manufactured entirely from carbon epoxy composite. Monocoque weighs only 9 kilograms, and is reinforced with Kevlar, to make it resistant to impact and vibration. Thanks to an increased cross-section, the composite body is stiffer than a regular motorcycle tubular frame. Added ridigity will increase steering precision and thus ensures very precise steering.

A Robber Fuel Cell

The fuel tank is a result of the alliance between Renard GT’s distinctive carbon fibre monocoque and the ATL’s fuel cell technology known from F1 racing, based on the same weave construction as ATL’s revolutionary rubberized fabric. Using duPont Kevlar fibres and an ATL proprietary synthetic elastomer coating makes the fuel cell remarkably tough and durable coupled with extreme light-weight, high flexibility and compactness.

So imagine if you dropped this bad boy. That could possibly be the worst thing you will have done in your lifetime – aside from buying a $96,000 motorcycle, of course. Image from http://www.renardmotorcycles.com.

And of course, the Renard’s GT’s 1200cc engine which “produces approximately 130 hp at 8000 rpm while peak torque of 120 Nm happens at 6000 rpm.”

Compared to a lot of your other dumbass decisions in your lifetime, spending close to 6 figures on a carbon fiber chassis motorcycle built in Estonia almost makes sense.

If we could afford the Renard GT, we would imagine this exact picture… with an entourage of bodyguards in several black G-Wagons in tow.

To create Essential Style for Men, mix 2 parts petrol, 1 part secret agent, 1 part rock and roll, 1 part hip-hop and a shot of tequila in a shaker with ice and vigorously shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with explosives and have a supermodel serve for all your friends to enjoy.
